The country’s reckless reopening without adequate planning is claiming lives. It did not have to be this way
China’s citizens know this winter is a deadly one. But they do not know how deadly. According to leaked information, health officials that about 250 million people – 18% of the population – were infected with Covid in the first 20 days of December and that as of Christmas Eve, the rate of infection was still rising.
Yet the authorities’ public pronouncements have been extremely limited and clearly misleading or downright ludicrous. The virus rips through the country and bodies – but on Monday, China reported 76 Covid deaths, of which all but two were in Hong Kong, not on the mainland. Relatives report loved ones dying of Covid but having something else . Worse may be to come: while there are signs of younger people recovering in Beijing and Shanghai, the lunar new year is fast approaching, and with it the return of hundreds of millions of migrants, on planes, crowded trains and buses, to smaller towns and rural areas with far worse healthcare than big cities.

With China’s government underplaying its domestic outbreak, it’s vital that other countries remain alert to new variants
After almost three years of trying to wholly eliminate the virus that causes Covid-19 from within its borders, the Chinese government has abruptly changed course. Now, the country is attempting to “live with Covid-19”. Testing is no longer required, and numbers of officially reported Covid-19 cases are at odds with scientific estimates of the situation.
While official estimates suggest there are 4,000 cases of Covid a day, scientists estimate the number is more like 1 million. Official death tolls are similarly unreliable. The from the Chinese government, and the lack of trust in what it’s saying about its domestic outbreak, has prompted concern across the world.
